On the implementation and follow-up of decisions

Abstract

Postmeeting activities have not had enough research within the decision-making cycle. Perhaps they have been considered trivial or not meaningful in the past. However, without an appropriate follow-up. important decisions made in the previous phase may get lost or be implemented wrongly. This paper proposes computer-based support for postmeeting activities. The support includes the corresponding linkage of activities to the meeting decisions that originated them The proposed system follows a process pattern approach to design the postmeeting activities and uses a workflow management system for process enactment.
